News: Indian Railways has signed an MoU with the Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Limited (DFCCIL) for the installation of a Machine Vision-Based Inspection System (MVIS).
About Machine Vision-Based Inspection System (MVIS)
- It is an automated system designed to detect defects in Rolling Stock.
- It leverages the power of AI and machine learning to automate and optimize the inspection process of rolling stock.
- Functioning
- It is equipped with technologies that capture high-resolution images of the under-gear of moving trains and automatically detect any hanging, loose, or missing components.
- On the detection of anomalies, the system generates real-time alerts to facilitate prompt response and preventive action.
- Importance
- The technology is expected to significantly enhance the safety of train operations, reduce manual inspection, and help avoid potential accidents and service disruptions.
- Advantages
- The primary advantage of MVIS is its ability to carry out consistent monitoring without disrupting regular train services.
- It reduces reliance on manual inspections and frees up skilled labour for critical repair and maintenance tasks.
- It will detect problems before they become serious, which minimises service disruptions and helps keep trains running on schedule.
